Iv been looking at these too MMOs for a while now.. I have been watching Warhammer Online for a while now.. its basicly a beefed up Dark Age of Camolet for what i hear.. i love the pvp/rvr where quests are kill xxx many players of xxx type and such.. but i have heard doubts about the game.. mostly becuase its not 40000

there there is darkfall which has taken the lead of my intrest over warhammer.. darkfall has some great concepts and how the npc and IA work im really digging.. its not equipment based like wow for the simple fact when you die.. everything stays on your corpse and npc’s will loot your corpse too. but there still gonna be powerful weapons.. but its more skilled based.. you can mix match your skills… be and invoker and wear heavy armor.. but be prepared for the increse % in spell failures.. but alteast it is possible.
